Tesco Guinea Food - Review

Not open for further replies.
Just trying the Tesco's GP purple bag for £2.99, seems to be going down well. Also feed alongside, Science Selective. I've got a sample of Burgess and will try that sometime.
 
This Wagg stuff seems really good I think I will have to keep an eye out for some and try him on that.

Thanks all
 
I have been feeding the purple Tesco to my two girls and have found that they leave some small brown bits but love the rest. As this is wasteful I think that they will be getting extruded food only after this bag is finished. They have both extruded and Tesco at the moment.
 
[colorr]I hav bn using Grty but will try Tsco

My two went on to this as they were not really keen on Gerty, and we started well. Obviously there was more in this for them to like as for the first few weeks they tucked in and hardly left a bit. Then they got selective. All the biscuit stuff got left and seedy stuff and that makes up a fair bit of the mix whether it is the good bits or not. I estimate that now they only eat approximately a 1/4 of the food. :-\ So I am now getting them onto Supa Guinea Excel.
 
I've introduced tesco purple bag today and the boys like it. i gave a small amount as i wanted to see if they liked it. seems a winner up to now.

louise (sorry for lack of caps baby is sleeping on me)

Mine like it but they only eat 2 or 3 parts of it so I dont use it unless I mix it.
 
Is it really that good?
mine ar on gerty guinea pig but after hearing that aint so good might change to wagg
or tesco..
is it really that good?
how much is it?

Mine are real picky with the stuff I buy at the pet shop - they always leave all the tiny pellety bits. And there are five of them. And they ALL leave these bits so they must be horrible mustn'y they?

Doing the Tesco shop tomorrow so will add this purple bagged guinea food to the list! Thanks guys!

I find the Tesco Value Guinea Pig food goes down a treat with Peanut and Spud!

My piggies love it too - they eat more of this than any of the other muesli mixes I've tried! :D
 
this might sound weird and i dont know if its anything to do with the food at all ,but my dads pigs get tesco food and theyre much smaller than their brothers who get fruity guineapig from jolleys. i got a bag of that given to me an age ago and mine tucked right into it, theyll eat the tescos stuff at the push.... but dad swears by it O0
 
I was rather concerned when I went into tesco today that they have a Tesco value (the red, white and blue pack) that they are selling it as ginuea pig and rabbit food, given the different dietry needs of the two I am concerned that they are choosing to sell as one comined bag, if you catch my drift.

Tesco Guinea Pig food? Seriously? Is it actually any good? I would have thought it if full of cheap fillers, has it even got Vitamin C content?

The only good stuff I have found is Supe Guinea Excel and Science Selective. Even gerty which has Vit C i'm dubious just because it is a mix rather than pelletted.

yes, when they gave me that on my delivery I sent it back. Not happy at all with it. The purple one is very popular though
 
I'm quite interested to hear more about this. Anyone got a bag handy with the nutritional contents on? Thanks in advance. :)
 
I give this ****(4) mainly because it comes in small bags so not big enough for those of us with 3 or more pigs!
 
The tesco food comes in a small bag, so I only use it when I'm desperate and can't get my normal food. My pigs love it though, and only leave the corn bits. I wouldn't use the tesco blue stripe food, because it says its for rabbits and pigs, so I'm not sure it has the right amount of vitamin C.
Usually I use pets at home food, but mainly because the bags are bigger and I have 4 pigs to feed. Tesco bags only last a few days.
 
My piggies love Tesco food, more than anything else, even Gertie Guinea Pig :)
 
All mine love tesco food in purple bag.I mix it with wagg optimium pellets.
 
i've just changed to the tesco one and they really love it they never leave any!
i did use the cheap one first but they hardlly touched it! ;D :D
 
I've just started my piggies on the purple Tesco food from Friday and they're not liking it too much. They used to get P@H nuggets(which I'm still mixing in with the Tesco food at present) and they're eatting that and throwing the Tesco food all about their cage. Will keep trying for a little longer and see if they change their fussy wee minds! :)
